Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we follow motorcyclists towards a junction with sign B-20 "STOP" and plate T-6c in front of it; lane direction arrows and a pedestrian crossing can be seen on the roadway. In this situation you are obliged to stop before the stop line - the answer is YES.
Sign B-20 "STOP" means that you must not enter the junction without stopping before the priority road, and that you must give way to drivers travelling on that road. You should stop at the place marked for this purpose, that is, before the stop line, and if there is none - where you can see the priority road and do not obstruct traffic on it. You must always stop, even if the junction seems empty - just slowing down is a petty offence. Plate T-6c under the sign shows the actual course of the priority road through the junction, which helps you judge from which side the vehicles you give way to will come.
